Keeping the Flies Away.
[ ittsbHrZ Chronicle. ]

Whats that for?" asked a reporter of
a waiter in a Smithfield street restaurant.
The waiter had bag of table salt in
his hand aud was sprinkling the contents
behind the counter and on the floor where
the crumbs might fall
1T is to keep the flies away, replied
the waiter.
How does it do it?"
Cant say, sab. ask the manager.
I'VE find, said the manager, that by
sprinking salt where there are broken
victuals, dirty plates and other things
which attract flies, we can keep these
pests away 1t fills the air with saline
particles and we have no trouble at all
You can see that this is so by looking
here
Scraps of bread. melon rinds and
broken meats and pieces of plates were in
baskets and shelves behind the counter.
but there were not dozen flies in sight

Divorce on the '.Installment'' Plan.
LChicago Herald

The newest canvasser goes from house to
house when wives are at home and husbands
away. He explains how readily, secretly,
and for slight reasons, divorces may be OBJ
tanned, and he departs saying he will take
the liberty of calling again in a week. He
is an agent for a divorce lawyer. Dis
contented wives, either with or without good
cause for divorce, thus have the means
brought to them; and, when it is added that
nav is taken on the installnent plan, the
attractiveness of the scheme must be
acknowledged.
